Thoughts and questions about Stay and Defend Techniques

*Can the "authorities" be relied upon to be there when you need them?

*What about a "phone tree"?

*What about portable fire pumps, household pressure?

*Backburns...scary! Do they work? Who can start one?

*When should we make the final decision to stay or go?

*What happens when it hits? What about afterwards?

*What tools should I have handy?

*How should I prepare my property? My Home? Myself and my family?
